Obama administration mulling Syria solution

U.S. and allied intelligence agencies say chemical weapons were likely used by Syrian forces in an attack near Damascus. Reuters reports they think it happened “with high-level approval from the government of President Bashar al-Assad, according to American and European security sources.” Reuters also says, “the early intelligence finding could increase pressure for action by President Barack Obama, who has made clear that he plans to tread cautiously even as his aides air their differences in a debate over possible military responses to the Syrian government.”
